"Hopefully we get a chance to do it again..."
Made me sad.
Why? Never heard about this channel I'm unknowing
@@Dark_Souls_3 Kobe Bryant passed away
@@gigahertz_1911 :/ he was a good guy man
Very sad about kobe
Same.
Very understandable why he sat down with you guys: your questions were spot on and very interesting. Good job - keep it up
843 likes and no comments let me fix that
He takes it from Raw footage to the final product, props for that! I feel so much better about refusing to hire an editor now.

Ok let's get some work done .. notification: MKBHD The Interview .. ok never mind. Play
The various a-roll angles seem to help hold retention, nice job keeping/editing "video podcast" engaging
1st
Amen to that
Thank you so much for making this interview video with separate cameras and not just like a zoom call interview haha
This was AWESOME! 🔥
NOT to mention that they added shots from things MK was talking about, like the b roll between 16:00-16:25
The authenticity he’s been able to maintain the whole time is unbelievably admirable. This is great you guys!
I took a screenshot of the octopus diagram 11:26, and gonna have that stuck on the wall to remind myself how much effort it goes into making each video and building a channel.
I am subsxribed to u

Same. Subbed to you
Broo me tooo 😂
this is so good! wow
So well done 👏🏻 and Marques is the best 🙏🏻

As an upcoming TH-camr, this is BIG. A lot for me to learn!
Left a sub. Clean channel 🥂
458k subscribers as of Jun 2024! You made it, man!
Love hearing from other Creators, this is awesome.
you here too?
That intro deserves an Oscar. Whoever put whatever many hours into it - I appreciate you. I bet Marques does too.
Yeah, I think it will work even for people who didn't cared about Marques before. I mean, it's the purpose of it, but it's done so well that even I, knowing all the facts from it, appreciate it.
I am I the only one listening this with noise canceling on? Make sure I catch every nugget of gold Markus drops!!! 😲
yhea lol!

This whole interview is so inspiring. The questions are perfect, and this was so smooth. I've been watching Marques for like 7 years. And I respect his work flow and video techniques, and just the smaller details, and even the Easter eggs he inclues. Each thing just adds to the quality, the dedication is crazy. I aspire to get to this place in my niche.
Really amazing interview. So many questions were answered for me as a growing creator! Thanks guys
Wow, that techtuber nostalgia trip down memory lane at the start... amazing interview guys! Keep em' coming.
Marquess to Kobe ending interview - "Hopefully we can do it again". Damn :(
Marquez is a huge inspiration, from New Jersey! Super humble and gentle guy.
First time seeing your content, and this was a great interview. Very insightful!
I really appreciate how well prepared and professional Colin and Samir were in this interview, I enjoyed how organic the conversation flow was throughout the questions asked and answers given by Marques! Thank you guys, huge fan of both parties.
This is such a wonderful conversation. The way you guys interview is near perfect! Not a wasted question or rude interruption.
This was such a great interview. It’s so awesome to hear more about the business side of MKBHD. So inspired now to get creating. Great job guys!! 👊
Really well thought questions that had me interested throughout the whole thing.
Well done guys, amazing interview.
You guys are so underrated, your videos and the effort that you put into them, amazing, big fan!
This shows that you don't need millions of views just one right person has to watch your vid.
Linus Sebastian (LinusTechTips) would be a great interview. His channel has turned into an entire conglomerate of businesses like LinusMediaGroup, FloatPlane and Creator Warehouse.
I've never ever seen a video with 1000 likes and no dislikes! Tells you how good it was! I had been waiting for this since you teased it last week, wasn't disappointed :))
Great interview!!! You guys do a great job and Marques was stellar. Also I love the intro. I usually only listen to the podcast but seeing the intro was fantastic!
Amazing content! I’m glad to see people just have a genuine conversation. MKBHD Marques Brownlee has a big future ahead. Can’t wait to see what he will do next.
WOW! What a great interview with so many golden nuggets!
I love your conversation about making hires as your company and vision grows! Also, the talk on reaching different platforms!
Y'all talked about pretty much everything I would've asked him (except for his AUDL stats and his thoughts on the future of the league and sport)
Great work again with the full video!!
This interview only shows how much you have done for the creator economy and community and how much creators trust you. Cannot wait to see who comes next! Great interview as always, full of insight and valuable advice.
Great conversation! Love the new format with the clips channel! The CSS is a rocket ship!
Wow! Excellent interview guys, well done on the editing. You nailed this one. He seems genuine and excited to be taking to you guys. Love that he follows your content.
Consistently making quality content, asking great questions, and making engaging videos. Keep it up!
Colin and Simar, I've been watching MKB and many others from very beginning and i discovered your channel as well. Through the time i had such an amazing experience since i like similar and had the pleasure watching and Learning from so many.Truly Great Video and Thanks so much for sharing as i got to see some great Memories from watching this.Hope you all have a Wonder Holiday and Stay Safe.Deb 💯✌
I still can't believe you guys don't have millions of subs yet! I've been enjoying your content for years. And from the beginning, you guys have such well produced videos. Stoked on your Samsung sponsorship. Looks like you're putting those dollars to excellent use. The podcast is amazing. Thanks for all the content!
A Linus Media Group interview would be awesome too because it's really different from MKBHD's small team! The LMG workflow with tons of employees and several youtube channels is such a drastic contrast
Lotta love for Marques. Great example of someone who has consistently shown up, done the work and added massive value.. #respekt
it's so lovely to see how much finesse you put into your videos, can't wait to see the inevitable growth of your channel. keep it up guys!
You guys were so precise with your questions and he was too with his answers. Loved the whole interview! Awesome Work!
Thank you very much for this inspiring interview!
Rarely watch TH-cam so long videos right to the end like in this case.
Keep producing great stuff like this!
This channel is going to 100K! Incredible number of insights uncovered with every podcast 👏
I love Marques and I dig this interview. Thanks, Colin and Samir. Great one for the books.
I loved the part about "hiring above yourself", I think a great example of this is John Robinson/Nadeshot if you're familiar with 100 Thieves.
Amazing interview! I am really happy to hear you discuss the "team" aspects of channel development. It seems like there comes a time with TH-camrs where the work is too much for just them, and I've witnessed some very solid creators get completely overwhelmed by the process because they are going through it alone. Their process has through evolution morphed into a quality level that cannot be replicated with regularity while keeping to a consistent upload schedule. Great discussion points.
It's funny you say that about his team yet another commenter just before you said that marques prefers to edit his own videos. When you're a one man band it's all you. Once you start bringing other people in that's going to change for good or ill.
Awesome scoop... thoroughly enjoyed this
Nearly 1,000 likes and no dislikes, it says it all
Incredible interviewers and dope creators talking, you guys are killing it and I love it 🔥
Most interviewers can learn a lot from you guys. Excellent questions, good listening skills , great editing...it goes on and on...
Fantastic exposure. Delighted for you guys!
This interview was really well done! It was clear that you two were fans. However, you kept it professional and actually asked really interesting questions. As someone who is trying to build something on another channel, this was very insightful. Thanks guys!
Props to Samir and Collin. Marques has done many interviews for other channels but here the questions asked of him are unique and more pointed. Really refreshing and I Def learnt a lot from the answers he gave.
Great job interviewing super well considered questions and timing was on point! 👍
Absolutely love the content u guys put out. Great interview
very informative video, also love the wau the interview is structured!! keep it coming!
Great interview, I wasn't planning on watching the whole thing but I ended up watching the whole thing
Colin! you seem so zen and so good at asking questions. You guys do an incredible job!
My favorite creators! Love what you guys are doing
Probably the best interview I've watched this year.WOW The questions were on point WOW
Wow this is really amazing, I learned a lot from this interview! Thanks guys!!!
I have been your follower since day 1
I am foreseeing your future and channel skyrocketing .
Good work guys.
Lots of love from Pakistan.
Dude, I'm so juiced that MKBHD said yes to this. Having subbed since like 2016-17 it's been awesome to see the growth here.
Your channel deserves way more Subscribers - excellent content and quality of videos!
Great stuff guys. Thanks for sharing these awesome interviews
I don't really follow marques channel nor watch his videos but I love the way it all articulate for him ! Great interview, really puts things in perspective as a creator !
Rewatched because this was so good. Great work guys.
that intro gave me the feels, been watching MKBHD for like 6 years now, crazy
You've managed to ask every single question that I've wanted to know always know about MBKHWD. Especially the 8k zoom part :D Thank you so much for doing this. Truly invaluable content.
YES GREAT THUMBNAIL! Keep up the good work guys!
Nice! When Marques asked which guests they should have on the Waveform Podcast last week I immediatly suggested you guys!
Imagine my joy when the notification for this Video popped up! Not that I had anything to do with it ;)
I hope this gives you anothe big boost!
Everyone who is here for MKBHD: check out all the great content Colin and Samir put out and definetly subscribe!
So refreshing to see creators interviewing other creators in different spaces about the process, such a valuable conversation that seems pretty rare these days.
i'm watching the intro for the 3rd time. paused and now commenting.
gonna bring some coffee, brb.
was waiting for this collab ! oh yeah
I love how marques is so humble and straight to the point.
excellent podcast 👏😎
So glad you guys are getting traction after years of great content!!
Editing definitely takes the longest by far but it's the one part that is such an art form which makes it hard to outsource
this is such a massive accomplish for you guys! congrats!
Love it. Great to see MKBHD share his journey.
Good job guys
Enjoyed the interview!
Great interview! Awesome and inspiring for all of us who are growing our channels.
Great interview
What an amazing interview! MKBHD and you guys are truly epic personality.
I didn’t know Marques before this but I’m so glad I do now! His accomplishments are out of this world ❤️🔥 so inspiring
so this is what this guy does. love the podcast tho. already can tell it’ll be a good episode
I think this is one of the best videos i have seen in a long time:)
In the first 10 seconds I’ve already learned a lot! I didn’t realize he’s been on the platform for SO LONG
I never clicked so fast on an interview. Added this to my watch later for when I get home :)
I love the questions you guys make and that you are for real trying to get useful answers. One of the questions at 24:40 Samir mentions a "let go" on the administration side so you can focus more on the Creative side of the brand, one creator I think does this pretty well is Pokimane, maybe you guys should have her in one time, I do admire how she manages herself. Keep the great job!
Awesome video. One of the best interview of Marquees.
That interview was fireeeee...learned alot of stuff from Marques
Liking the amount of creator insider content out here! (Came here from the WVFRM Podcast)
Absolutely loved this video, great job 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
You are moving that way too guys! Keep pressing publish. Great interview!
This is amazing! Great interview!
Knowing how deliberate and aware Marques is in his videos, as a viewer you always think about "Is there something more to him?". This interview was a great answer to that question.
Learn a lot of different gadget very proud of you man keep it up with the knowledge Colin and Samir you have a lot of good video
